TEENS

Explore nature in the city, learn about college and career paths in natural science fields, and participate in hands-on scientific investigations! Conduct environmental science field and laboratory investigations, and study the nature found in our city's parks, neighborhoods, and forest preserves, and participate in habitat restoration and other stewardship activities. Teens develop their own research questions and learn to use mobile devices to collect data in the field and to create and share dynamic online maps of project data, culminating in websites developed to highlight their projects.
